Chapter 02

I kept my feet forward, gripping the backpack strap tightly in my arms.

"Excuse me," I said, the building looks very clean and suddenly my eyes widen to see the contents of the old building in front of me.

"Gosh, novels... so many," I muttered in awe.

The figure of a middle-aged man came out from inside the old building in front of me.

"Please come in, son!" the orders trembled, perhaps the effects of old age, I thought.

I forgot not to tell my driver, and finally I immediately rushed back to the taxi which was a little far behind me.

"Sir! It turns out that this is the place I'm looking for. You go home! I'm fine here alone!!" I shouted from a distance.

I don't know why the driver looked strangely at me.

"Is anyone there, Non?!" She shouted.

"Yes, there is a guard here!!" I shouted while pointing at the figure of an elderly man standing next to me, he also looked at the taxi driver there.

The figure of the driver felt a little strange. Because he did not see the figure of the man shown by the girl in front of him. Why is that girl so weird?

Obviously this place looks dirty and run down. In addition, the driver accidentally glanced around the old building there. WHAT? Grave? Are his eyes not wrong? The driver is scared, it's better to find safety for himself.

"Miss, take good care of yourself, I'm going first!!!" shouted the driver nervously.

Callista just shrugged her shoulders, feeling strange in the driver's behavior.

Without permission I passed the figure of the old man beside me and entered the old building in front of me.

I am so amazed by the arrangement of the well novels here, there are so many new novels. Which wasn't even available in the big bookstores in town. But how can this place provide a full range of novels? I'm a little confused. And also how can the old man arrange these novels, so artistically, neatly and spoil the eyes of the beholder. The feeling is very unlikely, at his age that is too old, he still has an artistic spirit that is too high and modern.

Oh, what a fool. Most importantly, I enjoy this place. I took a pile of books in front of me, which were still sealed so neatly. I didn't care about the strange look from the old man over there.

For a long time Callista was engrossed in the novels in front of her, she just realized that there were only herself and the old man in the building.

Are there no other visitors here? I spread my eyes here and there. Still, I have not found another figure, apart from me and the guard of this building. Ah, I'm just trying to think positively, maybe right now everyone is busy with work and other activities, such as college for example.

I continue my reading program.

Unbeknownst to Callista, the figure of the old man there was grinning.

Bad girl, you must be rewarded. Murmured the figure of the old man.

"Son, you're going away for a while. Are you okay? If you live here alone?" asked the old man.

I smiled and answered.

"It's okay, sir" I said briefly, and resumed my activities.

"Son, I'm warning you! Never enter the closed room over there!" asked the old man.

I followed the direction of the fingers that the old man was pointing at. And sure enough, there was a small room that seemed to be closed by a golden door there.

"Okay, sir" I said indifferently, I felt a little offended by the man's words, which seemed to forbid me from entering the room. What does he think I want to steal? Doesn't he know that I'm the son of a rich man? My pride.

The old man's figure traveled.

Callista is not called if you are not curious about something challenging.

"What's really going on in there?" I muttered.

I tried to get out of this place, I turned my head to the right and left. Checking if the old man is still here, or gone. Feeling the situation was safe, I immediately re-entered the room.

My only goal, the room that the old man forbade earlier.

"Actually, what's in this room? Why did the old man forbid me? I'd better take a look, hihi.." I giggled. I slowly turned the knob of the old door in front of me.

CKLEK!!!

The door opened, suddenly a thick billow of dust swept across my face.

"Uhuk! Uhuk ..." I coughed. "Oh my! Has this place never been cleaned?" I grumbled.

I continued my steps deeper into the empty room. Even in this place there is also no lighting or anything like that. There was only sunlight that slightly penetrated the small gap in the wall of the room.

"It's so dark," I turned to take my phone in my bag. I turn on the flashlight mode on my phone. "Why so scary," I made a few goosebumps. However, my curiosity was higher than my fear.

Until my eyes fell on a pair of tables and chairs not far from where I was standing. I smiled, seeing that there was an old book on the table. I do not know what energy is now pulling me to open the contents of the book.

I tried to clean the dusty book, I opened it slowly, and I sat my ass on the chair near the table there. It doesn't matter if this chair is dirty, full of dust.

I started reading the contents of this old book.

"Th-this is a novel?" my eyes sparkle. I don't believe in old novels, but they are very interesting for me to read.

My gaze focused on the book in front of me, this story is very interesting. Until I don't want to blink. As if I can't stop reading, this storyline is so different from the novels I've read before. The characters in this story are real, as if I can enter the world of the novel I'm reading. But I'm a little surprised, why is the face of the girl character in this story not clearly visible? Could it be because this book is old? I thought.

I'm still trying to find a visual image of the girl character in this novel. Still, all is not clear. Even though the other characters are still visible. What's with this visual image of the main character's girl? I wonder more and more. Even though on the front cover, all the pictures of the characters are clearly visible. Ah, maybe it's because the book is outdated that the pictures are faded.

In just seconds I can memorize clearly the names of the characters in this story. I think I'm a little disappointed with the storyline which I think is very hanging and sad, how can the main character end up dying?

"Huh! Why did it end so unclearly? Could there still be a 2nd book?" I muttered. I straightened myself in the seat behind me. While thinking about the riddles in the novel I just read.

When suddenly a gust of wind pushed me to open the back cover of the old book.

I quickly pointed my slender fingers to open the end of the book in front of me.

It was written in blood red ink on it.

"Only true love can free me from the shackles of hallucinations."

At that moment, my eyes darkened. I can't remember anything anymore, what happened to me?

A few seconds later a blinding bright light came over to me. It was as if the white light was dragging me into a strange tomb.

"Nooooo!!!

I screamed hysterically, at that moment I didn't remember anything anymore.

"Miss, wake up! It's already noon,"

The unfamiliar voice woke me from my trance. I blinked my round eyes. Looking around the strange room where I stand.

"Where am I?" I asked in a hoarse voice, I still haven't seen who the figure is calling me 'Miss'. What?! 'Miss'? The call seemed odd.

"Who are you?" I jerked from my seat. I glared at the girl in front of me. Honestly, I'm very confused about my current situation. Wasn't I in the bookstore building? Then why are you here now? A strange place, which unfortunately is so familiar to my memory.

"Miss, it's me, your servant!" the figure of a girl my age looked scared and emotional at the same time. She said that she was a maid, but why was her demeanor not at all formal? What kind of servant is he, geez!

"Miss? Hey... I'm Callista! Call me Callista! By the way, where am I now?" I asked, circling the strange building I was in.

You are Miss Felicia! How can you say such a strange name, Miss?! " The maid looked confused.

"Felicia?! Gosh! I don't have amnesia, if you know. I still remember very well who I am. Don't lie to me," honestly, I was a little emotional.

"Amnesia? What is it?"

I fell silent. How can this girl not know what the term amnesia is? What is this place actually? My brain started spinning.

"You've heard of the term memory loss, haven't you?"

The girl nodded quickly. Oh my gosh, so cute, like Annabelle doll.

"That's another name for amnesia," I was happy, this girl finally understood what I was saying.

"Oh, I see. All right, now it's time for a morning shower. Look! The sun is shining brightly, then the old lady will scold me. If you see Miss has not taken a bath."

I'm getting confused by this girl's words. What does he really mean?

"Wait! You want to bathe me?!" I squinted my eye.

The girl nodded again innocently.

"What?!!! You want to bathe me and see my body? Don't be crazy!" I do not accept what the girl will do.

"What's wrong? Isn't it a habit, Miss every day? I even always help you rub your back. Then what's wrong?"

The girl was actually angry with me back.

What? Every day? So you've seen my holy body?! "

I covered my chest. Wait? I accidentally saw the clothes I was wearing. What kind of clothes is this? Uh, but I think I've seen it. But where?

"Glass! Where's the glass?! Get it quick!"

The figure of the girl whose name I do not know immediately ran. Take a long glass, which may be the size of the girl.

"Here, Miss."

I immediately looked in the mirror, how surprised I was to see the reflection of my image in the glass. This is my face, but this dress, this hair, this makeup? All not mine.

"Aaaaaaaa!!!"

I screamed in shock, before falling unconscious.

"Miss, wake up! Ouch, what's wrong with my Miss!" The girl panicked until she wanted to cry.

A few seconds later the figure of the girl who was unconscious again woke up. But strangely the look in his eyes now turned soft.

"Why me?"

He asked, massaging his slightly throbbing temples.

"Miss, recognize me?" the girl asked worriedly.

"Of course, you're my servant."

"Thank goodness! My lady is back!" the girl laughed happily. While hugging the girl in front of him tightly.

"Kelly, what are you doing? What do you mean I'm back?" confused the lady.

"So, Miss doesn't remember anything?" the girl asked seriously.

The lady known as Felicia Amely just shook her head slowly.
